[SLUG] backing with rsync after ssh root disabled: permission denied

["Voytek Eymont" <lists@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was using like:
rsync -avze root@server:/home /home
to backup the server, after disabling root's ssh, I tried:
rsync -avze myself@server:/home /home
however, that fails as 'myself' has insufficient permissions;

what the best way to handle this ?
